Say we have a population, with Ne = 100, containing two alleles, A1 and A2 at frequencies 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. We leave th

is population alone for 10000 generations (keeping its size constant), then come back to find that the allele frequencies are still 0.6 and 0.4.
a) Explain why this would be evidence that selection is acting in this population.


b) Which genotype would you expect to have the highest fitness in this case? Explain.

Answer:

a. It is found that even after 10000 generations, the allele frequency is still the same, that is, 0.6 and 0.4. This shows random mating population. None of the other factors like emigration, immigration, mutation, and others are operating. On the basis of Hardy-Weinberg law, if a population stays in random mating with no factors operating, in such situation, allele frequency will stay same from generation to generation. That is why in the given case, the allele frequency is still similar.  

b. In a random mating population, all the genotypes are identically fit. In such populations, the phenomenon of natural selection does not take place.

How would earths atmosphere be different if organisms capable of photosynthesis has not evolved?
katrin2010 [14]
The Earth's atmosphere would have little or no oxygen. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food in the leaves. The process uses sun light, water and carbon dioxide to yield oxygen and simple sugars. The simple sugars are stored in form of starch for future use by the plants, while oxygen is either used for cellular respiration or released to the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis adds oxygen to the atmosphere and uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Describe two ways that energy and matter flow in the tropical rainforest ecosystem shown in figure 7
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Hey mate here's your answer ⤵️

Photosynthesis produces oxygen for all organisms and a source of food for herbivores. The herbivores (primary consumers) are then consumed by secondary consumers, secondary consumers are then consumed by tertiary consumers. ... The secondary consumer receives 1% of the original sunlight energy.
